Dint they buy the rights to 20 games. Basically got them the Boxing Day fixtures and first to say they are playing all games live.

they've got all the midweek games this week which are split across tonight, tomorrow and Thursday so would have made sense to split the 2 big games.

It's cost, not choice. Not like you can get all the same games on different providers - if you want all the games you have to buy all the packages.
Apparently there has been some noise about it becoming like NFL - all games available and you choose whichever you want - which I've been suggesting for some years. Dunno if they'd also incorporate the 'blackout'.

That works for NFL as the televised game are on the regular TV networks in the US. Here you'd still have to have Sky and BT and then a PL package on top. How many 'big' games aren't televised now? Probably the only subscribers you'd get would be the supporters of the smaller PL teams.

I would guess that the only way it could work is the approach the NHL took with GCL. The PL could also say no thanks to Amazon, Sky and BT and go out on their own. Fair play to Amazon. The coverage is good and they haven’t upped their premiums (yet!). £59 for a year of free delivery, live streaming of movies & TV shows, ATP Tennis including the US Open and 20 live PL games is a bargain.

Seen that. It’s a bit behind but so is most sport on TV now. I know the WC Final in the summer was at least 20 seconds behind on Sky.

It looked like it although as soon as one half finished I switched to the other game. Before I switched a Duracell advert came on.
Turned it off before he came on as was too early to be sent to sleep

Not seen Jim Rosenthal on TV for years. Did he upset someone as he's a decent enough presenter, especially compared to some of the dross you get these days. Or is it just everyone has to be young and a former player.
Now to decide if I'm sticking with Man U v Spurs or changing to the Merseyside derby.

Nope. He's been one of the reports at games the last few weeks on Soccer Saturdays...just reappeared out of nowhere.

Yeah so far so good from what I can see. Even better that it's a bonus with your £7 or so a month Prime membership!
I can see them rivaling Sky and BT in the next few years, starting with winning more games in the 2020-21 season

I wonder if it is because I have a 4K stick, but not a 4K TV.

Have Amazon targeted the US market as well? Or this is their first venture

Think they show NFL in the US.

Quality was great and also had multiple screens up an running. Nice little December bonus. Too much of a tight arse to fork out extra £s though when free market forces lead to inevitable price increase.
